Understanding the geographic variation of leaf trichome in wild radish accessions would help to elucidate how morphological variation can be molded by natural selection. Here, we investigated the geographic variation of leaf trichomes in wild radish populations across Japan covering Ryukyu Islands and mainland. And we also sought the possible selection pressures involved in the evolution and maintenance of leaf trichome polymorphism. Results showed leaf trichome density in wild radish was highly variable across the Japanese archipel-ago, with plants from southern insular populations tending to exhibit glabrous leaves, while those of northern mainland Japan were completely covered by dense trichomes. This trichome variation in Japanese populations of wild radish was probably attributing to external stress involving in protecting against frost damage and resistance to herbivores. This study will be helpful to understand the morphological variation under divergent selections in wild radish and contribute to the areas of breeding and evolutionary studies in radish.
